well i am going to start from the beginning and my first week in Switzerland.
The day after i arrived, i went with my host family to their vacation home on Lake Bienne. Let me say...beautiful. Really. Ok so I was at this home from Friday August 8th to Sunday August 17th. Long vaca but i liked getting to relax right off the bat. I was having some homesickness and it was hard not being able to meet friends that first week, but it was still FUN!!! We went out on the lake quite often on the boat and such. Watched the adults wakeboard and swam with the kids.Didint have the courage to wake board my self....=[ oh well. So we were there, Nicole, Beat, Sebastian and me, along with Nicole's sister Catherine and her husband Fred. Along with them were their two kids Moriz and Paula
Lake Bienne
. Adorable those two. The girls Laura and Alexandra joined us on Monday after taking a summer trip to Romania with their grandparents. One of the days, they told me we were going to go take a walk....ok a walk. I can handle that. Ha! ok we rode our bikes to the boat dock area. Missed the first boat so took another to th other side of the lake. Then walked about half an hour to the train station through this small town that was literally empty....i think i might have seen maybe 2 people. haha Ok so took the train a couple of minuets then very quickly jumped off and got on to this awsome little train that took us up on to the mountain...very cool.
SOOOOO finally we start our walk...aka a two hour downhill hike through a canyon with tones of trees and waterfalls...and i was just wearing my converse. Wont make that mistake again!
It was an amazing walk...hmph i mean excursion.
Nothing else too exciting in Bienne. Look on for updates in Winterthur
